People need to be involved

Editor:

I would like to commend Mr. Lloyd Culpepper III for his letter of Nov. 13. You talked about the cost of the election. How true it is that those people have only themselves to think about. Those billions of dollars could have been used in so many other places. It is sad to see that our country is so full of greed and selfishness. It is time we stand up and face this nation head on.

When I think of my grandchildren and great grandchildren and what their lives are going to be like if we don't start changing things. I agree with your mother, Mr. Culpepper, in what she said about minding your own business. We need to mind others as well and help them in any way we can. The American people have become too complacent/fearful/condescending of the things going on around them, and will apparently accept anything the current "Government Regime" throws their way. We have all become mere puppets and say nor do anything even when the need arises.

[Article continues below]

It would really be nice to get the American people involved with our nation's government and its operation once more, instead of only the rich and powerful running our lives and world into the ground.

Thank you Daily Record for keeping free speech alive and well, wouldn't it be nice if you could get more people involved?

Romney, Ryan loss was deserved

[Article continues below]

Editor:

The recent comments by Willard Mitt Romney have merely pointed up how unsuited he was to be a candidate for president of the United States.

Mr. ... er ... Governor Romney has a whole list of excuses for his failure to give his super-rich contributors a return on their money, but doesn't put the blame where it belongs -- on his and Congressman Paul Ryan's shoulders.

The majority of the people of the United States -- not just more than 270 electoral college votes -- rejected the ideas Romney and Ryan put forth before and during the campaign. In addition, Paul Ryan's budget proposals put forth in the Congress were well known to the public. When he was chosen as a running mate by Mitt Romney it didn't matter how many times he stated Romney would be the president, not him, it was apparent to anyone who looked at it closely that Romney agreed with the draconian measures in Ryan's budget.

We citizens sat in front of our television sets and gaped with astonishment as these two men repeated statements that had been proved, again and again, to be false. In his speech before the Republican convention Ryan even managed to tell a falsehood about a totally irrelevant thing -- his time running a marathon. Who in the world cared how fast (or slowly) he ran a marathon? Why would anyone bother to tell such a story? It was a falsehood for falsehood's sake.

During the last few days before the election, Romney insulted the intelligence of Ohio voters by repeatedly stating that Jeep was moving its production to China -- even though Chrysler and GM had made public the truth of the matter, which was that Jeep was building a production plant in China for Chine sales, while increasing its U.S. production capability and hiring 1,100 in Detroit and 1,105 in Toledo -- 2205 new jobs being created (or restored). There are numerous other things that could be in this letter, but this is sufficient.

Romney and Ryan lost. They deserved to lose.

That must have been after the woman with cancer died again.Any wonder why you are a loon 2091?If you do wonder I would be more than happy to explain it to you.Of course then you would need MSNBC to understand.Or at least to continue your ludicrous attacks.Instead of attacking the right why not ask the idiots you voted for what they are going to do to help the nation?That would be a far more interesting conversation.

Yesterday I saw tapes of interviews of McCain and Graham praising Condoleezza Rice right before she was named SOS. This was right after she lied to us about Iran's WMD. So it was OK then but not OK now? Hypocrites. http://www.salon.com/2012/11/28/rice_vs_rice_what_changed_for_john_mccain_since_2004/singleton/ ...

2091 - " . . . .throwing him off a balcony." If only that were true. . " LOL thanks for the laugh. - - - - RE: 'who lied" - - - It is the CIA in this case who deliberately sanitized info on Benghazi. Specifically - al Qaeda links in order to protect intelligence operatives. - - - -AGAIN - the reason Rs are making a big stink on a non-issue is because the GOP wants Senator John Kerry to be Secretary of State so THEY CAN RUN ELIZABETH WARREN-DEFEATED-SCOTT BROWN AGAIN IN MASS FOR KERRY'S VACANT SENATE SEAT. What's NOT to understand by the politically ignorant? I'd like to believe no one is that stupid, but bam has proved me wrong, again.

Then exactly WHO DID LIE?That IS THE POINT!You loons don't seem to understand that the Rice controversy is to find out WHO TOLD her not to tell the truth.She KNEW the truth but still told the OBAMA LIE.She will now be rewarded for her loyalty.The FACT IS SOMEONE TOLD HER TO TELL THAT STORY,SO WHO WAS IT?Even you loonybirds should want to find out IF Obama ordered the LIE.Talking about Rove is like nominating Sandra Fluke for person of the year.Oh wait,the loon already have.Anybody still wonder why they are called loons?y the way equalizer,if you refuse to post your facts how can you attack others?Your world is blissful isn't it?Ignorance usually is.

Ambassador Rice gave an initial report from what she'd been given cleared via Petraeus and Clapper. She-did-NOT-lie. McCain, Ayotte & Graham on 'orders' from the RW/GOP want John Kerry (D) Mass. nominated for Secretary of State. If he gets the nod there will be an OPEN seat in the Senate. Republicans will run Scott Brown (R) Mass, for the seat.---- We know all about your "FACTS" Bam.... you're about as credible as Karl Rove & el Rush-'beau' - but a bigger 'joke'.

Buzz you don't owe any explanations to anyone who, no matter what time-line you post, they'll ignore. As for the Benghazi incident, Petraeus along with Clapper signed off on the talking points given to Ambassador Rice. - - - - The real reason McCain, Ayotte, and Graham are going after Rice is because they want Senator Kerry to get the nod for SOS. That means Scott Brown who got his butt beat by Elizabeth Warren would have another run at being 'the other' Senator from Mass. - - - - My beltway contacts say Ambassador Rice comported herself quite well behind the closed door sessions yesterday and today.---- What concerns the 3 Rs expressed is pure BS. - - - - BTW. Ever wonder why Rep. Eric Cantor (R) VA didn't demand Pretraeus quit his post when he was informed back in the summer of Petraeus' infidelity? - - - It's all about politics, power and sour grapes. LOL

For someone so intent on demanding truth bam, you should start by setting a good example. You have rarely answered a question I have posed to you in the past when I have asked you to give explanations for your opinions or citations for your "facts"! Regular readers on this site can attest to that as well. I asked you in my last post to point out what is wrong with Equalizer's timeline (the one you said would only be posted by idiots...) So are you working on that response? Or have you even read it? You, bam, are the Master of distraction!

Doesn't really matter at this point does it now?With the idiot Obama still in charge my choice would be for the Republicans to let him do whatever he wants.by the time his term is up my dog would get elected over him.As you know marc spending cuts aren't going to happen.And with the total for the "rich" tax bringing in enough money to run the government for 8 days a year it should be fun to watch this country go down.And now it will be all on the loon democrat party.can't blame the Republicans now can you?Time to step up and take responsibility for his own "policies".Still waiting buzzy on your timeline.Careful though,every day it keeps falling apart more.

bam does not answer questions posed to him by any of us "loons". He just calls us names and moves on to other diversionary tactics. Or if we ask him to back up HIS opinions with facts, he tells us to find out for ourselves. Nevertheless, I will ask another. What is wrong with the timeline Equalizer cited, bam? i am sure you read and studied it carefully, right? Instead of calling someone an idiot, I cordially invite you to point out what part of that timeline you disagree with. (Prediction: bam will claim he isn't going to waste his time reading something so idiotic and then continue to rant without any facts to back up his claims.)

Former Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman on Monday urged lawmakers, including those in his own party, to temper their criticism of the administration's handling of the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya....

Huntsman, who served as U.S. ambassador to China under President Barack Obama, said that it would have been nearly impossible for authorities to instantly obtain accurate intelligence about who was responsible for the September attack, which resulted in the death of four officials. Because of that, he said, recent criticism of U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice for not immediately declaring the attack an act of terror was either politically motivated or misplaced....

For Huntsman, the debate over who massaged what talking points and when is a distraction. While not downplaying the deaths in Benghazi, he noted that there have been other foreign policy developments in the past month that have also demanded attention....

"I heard endless chatter about Benghazi during the last several weeks and not a bit about the leadership changes in China," said Huntsman. "Now I needn't tell you which over the longer term is going to impact us as people. You've got once-per-decade leadership changes in China, whose economic and security policies will have a profound impact on the next generation of Americans."

Yes there is corruption in the dem party. But no where near as bad as the GOP. Husted lost just about every case during the elections. Kasich has done more unconstitutional things than any gov I can remember. The GOP hired a corrupt org to get voters registered and had them change their name to cover them for past problems. GOP candidates lied constantly. I could go on and on.

Cicero, 3 mil less Repubs voted because they died. The old angry white males party is losing members to death and not gaining any new ones because younger and wiser people see the truth of how the GOP are puppets to the rich and powerful. The group that wants to run the country into the ground to satisfy their greed.... The only group that supported the GOP was old white males. Women, minorities, younger people all voted overwhelmingly for dem candidates.... The GOP is too clueless to know you can't win elections appealing to such a small part of the country. Especially when they run unqualified candidates like Mandel and any of the ones running for GOP president.

By all means enlighten me buzzy.I am most interested in what mainstream media is not telling you.I would be very interested in how you defend the lies coming from Obama.So please just write down your "airtight timeline".I'll be waiting.Be sure to explain how Obama knew of the attack less than 1 HOUR after it started and supposedly said do whatever is necessary to protect our people.(Strangely no such order has been produced)Then the magnificent military stood by with either no orders or stand down orders until there was finally an aircraft sent to Tripoli 12 HOURS later.The FBI was sent in immediately,at least Hillary says so,but wasn't on the ground until 8 DAYS later and stayed to investigate four an astounding 3 HOURS.But by all means buzzy let us hear about your "AIRTIGHT TIMELINE".

Cicero, I guess bus loads of people being taken straight from their pews to early vote according to the fire and brimstone will of their preachers is nothing like your scenario. It must be nice to run a tax-free business and have as many votes as you can coerce during your sermon. Although, we all know that preachers would never try to influence the votes of their parishioners. They are much too moral for that. (please note sarcasm)

Poor Bam and Cicero....It is only going to get worse for them and their outdated ideas. Yes Obama won by 3 percent - remember everyone said that you couldn't win the presidential election with unemployment over 7 percent. Black and unemployment 7.9 percent and he won convincingly. The Democrats gained in the senate and when all the votes are counted democrats received 1 million more votes for the house than their republican opponents. Every month 50,000 hispancis reach voting age. Young people, single women, latinos, asian americans, african american americans over-whelmily voted for Obama and the democrats. As the old white men of the Republican party march off into the sunset the GOP of today will fade away.

And another thing Janet Daily You sure have a way of putting your own little perceptions on things. First of all, electoral results always amplify victories. Given the popular vote, Obama barely won by a margin of about 3% (4% less than he was first elected by). So he actually lost support and the country is still pretty evenly divided. Plus - according to gloating liberals - 3M less Republicans turned out to vote this election and I doubt that was because they supported Obama. Secondly, you give too much credit to the large voting bloc that pushed Obama over the edge you know the people who had pencils and registration forms shoved into their hands while waiting to sign up for food stamps and then had to be gathered up and bused into voting centers to vote. How many of those people do you think are even aware of any of this stuff you talk about? Ryans budget? Whos Ryan? Not fallin for it lady!

And dman what was it you liked about the Ballard letter That you saw the words rich and powerful in it? You really respond to those buzz-words, dont you? But are you sure about who the writers were thinking of when they wrote that? Could they have been thinking of George Soros who pumps millions into Democrat campaigns and leftist initiatives? Or maybe they were thinking of the billions kicked back to green energy companies we find out were supporters of Obama in 2008? Perhaps they turned on their TV and saw the CEO of GE (who liberals excoriated for not paying any federal taxes) paling around with Obama and being appointed to his so-called jobs council? Do you really think Democrats are so pure and untouched by greed and corporate corruption?

@Roadster bam is not obligated to answer to anything; especially assertions made by you or Janet Daily or anyone else. So where do you get your information from conservatives? Give us a break! But while were on the subject of whos lying and whos locked into infotainment bubbles Who would like to explain the Benghazi situation and how/why the mainstream media has failed to report on it? Or perhaps why the Administrations story keeps changing back and forth. Or why if as Obama stated in his press conference, he ordered his staff do whatever was necessary to protect our people in Benghazi help never arrived during that seven hour attack. This should be good
